Chapter 56: Poor Brother and Sister
"Boss, four more bowls of wontons, ten fried dough sticks, and ten baked cakes!" Wang Tianyou glanced at the two helplessly, turned his head and shouted.
"What is it?" The owner of the shop was shocked when he heard this, and the spoon in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Are you sure?" the boss walked up to Wang Tianyou, looked at the table, and asked suspiciously.
"Sure, it's not enough, let's keep going!Hurry up!" Wang Tianyou shrugged helplessly and said to the boss.
"Then you can pay the money first!" the boss rolled his eyes and held out his hand.
"I'll rub it!" Wang Tianyou scolded in a low voice, thinking that Lao Tzu ate overlord meals for a long time! Damn, I haven't seen anyone who eats overlord meals in the early morning!
"No, here you go, settle the bill together after eating!" Refund more and make up for less!" Wang Tianyou took out a "Grandpa Mao" from his pocket and slapped it on the boss's hand, his arrogance was very arrogant! If this person has money, he will even have enough confidence to speak!
The boss took the money, fiddled with it in his hand for a long time, and then shone it on the light, and after confirming that it was true, his attitude changed suddenly! Chong Wang Tianyou smiled flatteringly, nodded and said, "Okay, you wait a minute, bring it to you right away!"
"Grass, see the money and open your eyes!" Wang Tianyou scolded in a low voice at the boss's back, his eyes full of disdain.
"Brother God bless, this matter is a long story. Jing Rui put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Wang Tianyou: "My brother and I are both countrymen. My mother left early, my father's health was not good, and his family was poor, so he could only live on a subsidy of a few hundred yuan a month in the village! The young people in my village all went to the city, saying that the big city could make a lot of money, and it was much more profitable than farming at home! Two months ago, my brother and I were also going to work in the city, thinking that we could get some opportunities, make a fortune and make money, go back to our hometown to buy a car and build a house, and give my father a long face. ”
"So, you came to Haitian City?" Wang Tianyou stretched out his hand to take the wontons handed over by the boss, handed them to the two, and spoke.
"Well, we wanted to go to first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, but the level of consumption there was so high that we couldn't even afford to buy food. So after thinking about it, I still came to Haitian City, a prosperous but not extravagant second-tier city. Jing Rui took a sip and continued: "When we first arrived, we waited for our employers in the labor market every day, and the next day a fat man came and wore a hard hat used on the construction site, and directly pulled away the young labor force of the entire labor market, saying that it was 2,000 yuan a month, and that we would be able to eat and live! My brother and I were among them, and he took us to a construction site, which was near here. Only then did we know that the fat man was the contractor of the construction site, and he asked us to sign and receive the clothes and arrange work for us. My brother used to know some carpentry skills in his hometown, so he did carpentry on the construction site. And I'm a girl who naturally can't do physical work, so I can only cook for them in the cafeteria or something. Every day is tiring, but it is very fulfilling!"
"Well, then what?" Wang Tianyou nodded and asked, "Isn't it nice to exchange your labor for payment?"
"But the good times didn't last long!" Jing Rui shook his head with a wry smile, a little helpless, "After a month, this contractor came to me and said that he had taken a fancy to me! Let me be his lover, and I won't have to work in the future, and live in a big house and live the life of a rich man! I rejected him at that time, and scolded him, although we have no culture, but we also know that this kind of being a rich man's second wife is a shameful thing! If it reaches the village, it must make people laugh and lose their big teeth! The ancients did not bend their waists for Sandu rice, although we are poor, but we cannot be without ambition! Big brother, do you think that's the reason?"
"That's right! No matter how big the money is, it's all earned slowly by penny! Although you are poor, you can't ask others to poke your backbone in the back!" Wang Tianyou agreed, nodded heavily, and looked up to the girl in front of him a lot.
Jing Rui's big watery eyes showed all kinds of helplessness, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "Well, that's what I thought at the time! Later, the contractor saw that I didn't agree to live or die, but didn't bother anymore, but found my brother! Let my brother come to convince me, and after the matter is completed, he will promote my brother to be the captain, not to mention the high salary, and there is no need to do heavy work!"
Tie Zhu put down his chopsticks when he heard this, his face was angry, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I can't agree, I was in a hurry with him at that time, and I almost started to do it! Although my sister can't be called a country and a city, but in our village, and even in our township, he is one of the best beauties, and he is a forty-year-old contractor, who looks like a pig, and drags his family with him, and even wants to beat my sister's idea! Isn't this a toad who wants to eat swan meat!"
"Oh, what about after that?" Wang Tianyou looked at Jing Rui in front of him with interest, but her face was covered with mud, and her clothes were also tattered, although she was not ugly, but she couldn't see the appearance of a beautiful woman.
"After that..."Jing Rui looked at Wang Tianyou's eyes, a little shy, glared at Wang Tianyou with disgust, and continued: "After that, my brother and I thought that the contractor was dead, so I didn't care. But there are unforeseen circumstances, two days ago, my hometown suddenly called, saying that my father's condition suddenly worsened and his condition was in crisis. My brother and I were in a hurry, so we found the contractor and asked him to pay us for these two months, and rushed back to our hometown to take care of my father. Unexpectedly, this brute was in trouble at this time, and offered to let me be his lover, otherwise he would not give us wages. The more Jing Rui spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and tears rolled in her eyes.
"Grass, it's really not a thing!" Wang Tianyou heard this, and immediately slapped the table and stood up, "Where is that contractor? I'll help you get the account!"
"Big brother, don't worry, sit down and listen to me!" Jing Rui bit her lip and shook her head, and said softly.
"Uh..." Wang Tianyou looked at the expressions of the people around him, and also realized his gaffe, and sat down, "You go on!"
Wang Tianyou's heart is now filled with righteous indignation, he has long heard that there are always arrears of workers' wages at construction sites, but he also prioritizes! People's fathers are critically ill, and you still don't pay people's wages, and you take advantage of people's danger to threaten a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world to be your lover! I rub, the more Wang Tianyou thinks about it, the more hated his teeth itch, and he can't wait to beat the foreman of that bag right now!
"I begged my brother for a long time, saying that the old man in the family was critically ill and in urgent need of money, and that we didn't have a few thousand yuan in salary, so we got it for a good job! But the foreman still didn't give it, saying that as long as I was his lover, he would pay for my father's medical treatment, and personally sent us back! My brother was anxious on the spot, and he started to do something, and in the end he was beaten up by the construction site security guards and kicked out of the construction site! Not only was his salary gone, but he also had no place to live! We slept on the streets in this way, and we didn't eat a meal for three days. When Jing Rui said this, she couldn't cry anymore, and her tone was full of grievances.
"Big brother, what my sister said is the truth! The old man in the family is in a crisis, and the hospital has stopped treating him if he can't pay the hospitalization fee! The relatives of my family are even more distant than the other, for fear that it will be spread on themselves. We are penniless here, and we are worried about the old man, and we are anxious. That's when I had to come up with such a way that wasn't a solution!" Tie Zhu put down the dishes and chopsticks when he heard this, and sighed heavily, his tone revealing endless helplessness and sadness.
Wang Tianyou felt the despair in the eyes of the brother and sister and the helplessness in their tones, and his mood was also a little depressed, he reached out and took out the handful of money he won from his pocket, leaving only a few pieces of change, and the remaining thick stack of 100 yuan bills were put on the table, and said to the iron pillar: "Okay, don't say anything! Three cents are difficult for heroes, you take these money, it is important to treat the old man first!"
"No, no, no, this is not good!" Tie Zhu looked at the money on the table, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, and pushed the money back: "I can't ask for this money! Although I don't have much culture, I also know that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring! Big brother, you can invite my brothers and sisters to this meal, I Tiezhu is already very grateful to you! I can't take your money anymore!
"Well, my brother is right! We can't ask for your money! I really can't, so I'll go back to the contractor and promise to be his lover. Jing Rui choked up, her eyes full of determination.
